possible: the washer fails; lack of tension on the drain plug results in it vibrating loose and falling out on the hwy... possible
I expect it'll be fine
as to the 1,200 oil change he is likely thinking of the need to break in an engine then change the oil; but modern engines don't need this
good practice is to reduce the risk of a major catastrophe - and more so than when it is a minor annoyance
the dealer must make 30 cents profit on each crush washer
that being said, I have reused crush washers several times in the last 50 years
the old ones can be tossed into your metal...
on a used car, one should replace all fluids just to be safe
also, check the date codes of the tires and replace if older than 6 years, no matter how much tread is left
- if the vehicle is older than 15-20 years, replace all rubber brake hoses with new rubber; and replace all rubber fuel hoses...
use a Lossless format if possible
mp3 & AAC(=mp4) are lossy so you are losing bits
it is always possible that the decoder for the WAV format is sub-par
or it may be something else as to why it doesn't sound that great - test known source material in various ways & see if there is a difference...
you must have a different stereo system than me...
mp3 is a lossy format - it throws away bits (i.e. parts of the music); it is true that naive listeners sometimes cannot hear a difference on certain source material
fidelity...
Bose has always been known for using psychoacoustics to create higher fidelity than you'd expect form cheap speakers & electronics; but that does NOT mean it is really HiFi
mp3 is the lowest fidelity format going
So, those are two factors working against you. But "strident...
ok, thx

- a better integrated display instead of that thing sticking up like an ipad glued to the dash - I saw a BMW sedan the other day where it was all nicely integrated
- in the intermtn. west you cannot have a fuel tank that is too big, so... yes on that...
Elizabeth, Did you see the thread about how soul red was impossible to touch up?
for parts, the CX5 may be too new to have many in junk yards yet, but you can try - they usually have a network of other yards they can get things from
I dunno where you live but around here I figure somebody will...
